We had our 9 week ultrasound this morning and Baby has gotten big!
The heartbeat was at 176 and is 20mm long.
And my favorite Christmas song was playing in the background!
"All I want for Christmas is you"!!!
Here's the difference with the first ultrasound and today's.
Unfortuantely, the doctor told us that we are officially "graduating" next week.
He feels confident to turn us over to another OB/GYN but at the same time we're a little sad cause we've been so spoiled on getting to see Baby every week. But everything seems to be going well...we're researching like crazy to get our new doctor!
Baby's now the size of a green olive!
Your little embryo has now officially graduated to fetus-hood. Adding to the excitement, a Doppler ultrasound device might be able to pick up the beating heart. With basic physical structures in place and increasingly distinct facial features, baby is kind of starting to look like...well...a baby!

Your baby is growing like crazy during pregnancy week 9. By now, most of the aspects of your baby's physical structure, such as head, arms, legs, and torso are in place. If you were to peek in on your little one, you'd find they resemble a miniature human being (one with a very large head!). Because your baby's organs and limbs are forming, in the next few weeks, your baby will be putting on weight. Your baby's tail should have disappeared by now, and your baby's organs and muscles should be functioning on their own. It's hard to believe that something so small can function so completely, isn't it!
At 9 weeks pregnant, your baby's eyelids will fuse shut and won't open up again until your baby is about 27 weeks along. Your baby's face is becoming more distinct every day, with the mouth, nose and nostrils becoming clearly visible. By nine weeks, your little one will even have developed sex organs, however, your healthcare provider won't be able to discern them quite yet. Typically the sex of your baby can be determined by ultrasound between 18 and 20 weeks gestation.
Your baby's heart should have divided into four separate chambers now, as your baby swims about gleefully in his or her warm and cozy home.
Your uterus is still growing, now closer to a small cantaloupe than a grapefruit.
